WRIST-WORN WEARABLES FOR MONITORING HEART RATE AND ENERGY EXPENDITURE WHILE SITTING OR PERFORMING LIGHT-TO-VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: VALIDATION STUDY

Wrist-Worn Wearables for Monitoring Heart Rate and Energy Expenditure While Sitting or Performing Light-to-Vigorous Physical Activity: Validation Study

BackgroundPhysical activity reduces the incidences of noncommunicable diseases, obesity, and mortality, but an inactive lifestyle is becoming increasingly common.Innovative approaches to monitor and promote physical activity are warranted.While individual monitoring of physical activity aids in the design of effective interventions to enhance physi

Performance Improvement of Human Centrifuge Systems through Multi-Objective Configurational Design Optimisation

Human Centrifuge Systems (HCSs) are an effective training tool to improve the G-acceleration and Spatial Disorientation (SD) tolerance of aircrew.Though highly capable HCSs are available, their structure and performance are yet to Posture Board be fully optimised to efficiently recreate the G-vectors produced using Aircraft Combat Manoeuvres (ACMs)

Probabilistic approach to earthquake prediction.

The evaluation of any earthquake forecast hypothesis requires the application of rigorous statistical methods.It implies a univocal definition of the model characterising the concerned anomaly or precursor, so as it can be objectively recognised in any circumstance and by any observer.A valid forecast hypothesis is expected to maximise s
